The student leader, Sefi Samueloff has written to us to inform us that Samieh Jabbarin and Ibrahim Machajne have been put under house arrest, as they await trial, for which there is no date. He also thanks Marxist.com for publishing the appeal.
"Dear comrades of the International Marxist Tendency (IMT),
"First I would like to thank you for publishing the solidarity appeal in your website and calling for international solidarity. It is very important also due to 'the link of silence' on the political persecutions against Palestinian activists inside Palestine 1948 by major and establishment media, maybe with one exception 'Haaretz' which has mentioned the arrest in Um El Fachem on election day.
"Second I would like to inform you that Samieh Jabbarin and Ibrahim Machajne have been released to domestic detention with a confiner condition and the date for the continuation of their trail is unknown.
"Unfortunately I am afraid that the saga has not finished yet.
"Your activity, and not just in this particular case, shows genuine proleterian internationalism.
"Comradely and sincerly yours,
"Sefi Samueloff."
